Scout Top 100 S Derrick Tucker discusses where things stand with his recruitment.

Manvel safety Derrick Tucker was in Houston for The Opening Regionals Sunday. National Recruiting Analyst Greg Powers caught up with the Scout Top 100 prospect to see where things stand with his recruitment.

"Ole Miss, Alabama, TCU, UT and U of H are big offers for me," Tucker said. "I'm still hungry for all of the rest of them (other offers). I want to have the opportunity to play anywhere."

A four-star prospect, Tucker has been rumored to be a Texas lean for quite a while, but the Longhorns have yet to seal the deal on his commitment.

"I am open to all schools. At the end of the day, there's no place like home, and that's all I can say," Tucker said with a smile. "But I am still thinking about going out of state."

2016 Texas signee Reggie Hemphill has a close relationship with Tucker. The safety has leaned on his former teammate for advice throughout the recruiting process.
